Alert: NuGo Dark: Mint Chocolate Chip Bars

If you currently have any NuGo Dark: Mint Chocolate Chip bars please note that while this bar is labeled gluten free it contains malt ingredients. The ingredients “soy crisp nuggets” and “chocolate rice crisp” contain malt and malt extract, respectively.

The good news: Next week (week including January 10, 2011) the company begins production on a reformulated bar that will no longer contain malt ingredients. However, according to the company, packaging material (with malt ingredients still listed) will stay the same until later this year. So, how will you know in the short term whether the bar you have is the reformulated variety—contact the company–they will be able to tell you based on the “best by” date.
